Oh my god I want to play! Um, I mean, check out this cool community game play idea from KMA. KMA is developing [Great Street Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-playground-1), in which [interactive lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impulse-collection) will create community game play in three cities across the UK.

KMA was started by UK artists Kit Monkman and Tom Wexler. The Great Street Games concept was inspired after numerous artistic light projects showed the public interest and curiosity. Check out their site (link below) for more information.

Previous to the Great Street Games, KMA’s work has involved various mixed media art pieces with dance, light and performance.
